@kalvarsaad Yup... Sounds about right. My uncle used to be a mailman in Chicago. One morning the temperature fell to almost -30F. With windchill's almost -70. Lost a toe due to frostbite.

I am a mailman in Estonia. The temperatures during eatly morning deliveries are sometimes -25F (-32C). The cold is rutheless, especially to your fingers and toes. As the temperature gets lower, the body concentrates on warming the internal organs. Uncovered skin may get damaged just a matter of minutes.

@PetrifiedFungus What is your favorite part of your job? What is it that you like it?

Some days we deliver in -15F or colder, so I wear a neoprene face mask with a balaclava over top of it. Tough part was finding a neoprene mask that didn't look like a skull or murderous clown!
